Just making sure that fighters and whatnot aren't usually counted when describing really big fleets.SquareDisc City wrote:I've always assumed that drones, fighters, missiles, and so on get ignored in the 'count' of a fleet, and indeed that kind of thing might be spammed. Although it's likely that something like Conservation Of Ninjutsu applies - one fighter takes out the battlestation with a critical shot but a thousand would be a largely ignored nuisance. Because that's how stories tend to go.
I quite expect that at least the first the fighter craft fight an enemy not of their own civilization, there will be heavy losses for them.
I generally only count the big ships, corvettes and up. And that might differ from player to player.
As a side note fighter to fighter space combat is epic cool in my book, have fun and make sure to talk it out with the other player(s) on how you would like things to go and listen to their input as well their ideas and you should have a pretty good story on your hands
